This is a painting I started and didn't finish. I'm going to paint over it and and make something great. I think it's good to see when a painting isn't working and just moving on to something else before trying to make it work.
I devoted this month to working on paintings for a fundraiser. This temple was one of them and very worth my time!
This rooster is based on a another painting and the head looked so weird, so I looked up real pictures of a rooster and got a good idea of what it looks like.

This project was for someone specific. I'm pretty pleased with it.
Miramare Castle, a commission. I did my best! Commissions challenge me, but I really can't work on them every day or I get really stressed and unhappy. I need to have a lot of projects that are fun and creative most of the time, and then really challenging commissions 1-2 days a week. Then I don't get too overwhelmed.
I loved the way this turned out. I had to change the tone of the color to a bluer color to work with shadows and not have it look so flat and black. There is a lot of problem solving for picking out the right colors. I hope it is as good for my brain as Sudoku or something, because I hate word puzzles.
This is my little artist that I let paint once in a blue moon. (so much energy to get her set up and keep it safe and clean.)

This is a painting that I am doing for a wonderful client. (My mother-in-law). I hope it turns out great. I think it will be good enough. My drawing honestly could be better. I have learned that if it's not based on a really good clear picture, there is only so much you can do.
